Wearing their wedding rings, Douglas, 68, and Zeta-Jones, 44, reunited for a holiday family outing with their children, Dylan, 13, and Carys, 10, Dec. 22 in New York City. The family ate lunch at Manhattan eatery Orso, then caught the Broadway musical “Motown” and a showing of “The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug,” according to E! online.

While promoting “Behind the Candelabra,” the Oscar-winning actor also sounded an optimistic note about the future of his marriage.

“I’ve been away for a while but everything should hopefully be on the up and up,” he told Jay Leno in October. “Sometimes people take a little bit of a break, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that’s the end. So I’m very hopeful.”
